What's the chances of seeing a PGR game tomorrow?
My money is more on a Forza game being revealed sadly.

I was super hyped for this, but I found out over the weekend that my mother has been called back (tomorrow) from a breast screening
He used the word "failz" and the poster took him seriously. It would have gone on until the end of time.

I wanted it to go on until the actual conference. You took my only source of happiness D:
I hope there's a PGR game and there are sports bikes.

I'd be more excited if Sony had a group of Japanese wizzkids working on their Japanese hardware tbh. Much more excited. If the future of Sony relies on western devs...........
yeap, some guys in here make microsoft look like they designed next xbox on kickstarter funds
who knows, maybe come E3 microsoft will be street-fighting with ouya for that parking space
ONE DAY MOTHERFUCKERS!!
Slim to none. But dont stop believing.

Launching a console without an arcade racer is madness.

Only if architectures are extremely different...
...and that's not the case this time. Because both consoles are based on x86 CPUs from AMD and GCN GPUs from AMD, games will perform better on the platform which is more powerful.

Software? Cause Japan is so far behind AMD/Nvidia/PowerVR on the whole graphical rendering front, it'd be pointless because they'd just end up using western designs anyway...like Sony dropping their Toshiba based "gpu" for Nvidia.

Thanks, I've felt sick all weekend. The waiting is horrible.

Certainly puts things into perspective Opus. Tell your mother everyone at GAF sends their love!
This is my late night wild baseless speculation...
What if they got the holy grail to work.. what if they figured out how to make cloud computing be useful for gaming? I started to think mostly about why they would have Dave Cutler working on Xbox, one of the smartest people at Microsoft (who can apparently pick and choose his projects at will) and an expert in OS, VMs and Cloud Computing. Some have speculated that he is working making the Durango VMs (needed to enable multitasking) as efficient as possible, but that doesnt seem like much of a challenge to a person of his expertise. His last project was working on Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform.. what if he brought that knowledge to gaming? Xbox Infinity.. infinite computing resources? Its somewhat hard to see how that is possible but im curious about what his role in the next xbox will end up being.

if they had japanese hardware, they'd be in a world of hurt. nobody can come close to competing with amd and nvidia on high end gpu's anymore. those companies have like, tens of thousands of engineering man years invested in the shit, hell thousands of man years just in the drivers. every driver and gpu they release is built on top of a gigantic mountain of previous work, you cant come close to matching that from scratch. even the patents they hold alone i'm guessing preclude any serious competition.

You guys keep the specs talk to even forget there was a game leak short time ago

But i doubt it's really a game btw

You can't really compare present with next gen. With PS4, Sony has lost the following disadvantages:
- exotic CPU that (by developer accounts) is difficult to work with
- underpowered, quickly cooked up GPU
- split memory pool
- shitty attitude toward developers (still remember the story of dropping a few thousand pages of user manuals written in Japanese and telling developers to translate it themselves - fucking idiotic)
I'm not saying that Durango's games will look bad if 1.2 TFLOPS rumors is true, but compared with 1.84 TFLOPS PS4, there will be differences, probably in a form of early resolution drops (from 1080p, if that is a target resolution), quality of AA, potential framerate dips (possible implementation of dynamic framebuffer could help here), etc.

Shit sorry to hear that, hopefully it's nothing serious. Chin up buddy! Don't lose heart.
So glad you felt it necessary to include my company's graphics tech there. Makes me feel like my work is significant.

It isn't a game. It tells you exactly what it is in the trademark description.

I think the TBDR approach deserves to be listed. You guys are horribly underrated because they don't have any PC presence, but I love their stuff.

1 day to go, eh? Exciting times.
I wonder why they moved it so close to E3. Have they said anything on what's going to be the focal points of this presentation vs. E3 presentation?
edit: so I should start reading op's more carefully. Games at E3, HW tomorrow I figure?

Yeah maybe they just change "Auto Vista"'s name to "Forza Vista"
This will focus on hardware and features. E3 is for the games.
Monty Mole

It seems tomorrow will be focused on the future vision of Xbox, the hardware, services etc. E3 will be all about the games.
I wonder if next gen Halo will come with a blue fleshlight, maybe even with bluetoothenabled rumble functionality
The survivors of the tent collapse called the console war...judgement day.
maybe they have an pressure sensitive analog glove controller to complement kinect?
the only way to make the perfect controller (not kinect, the pad) better, make a new one

Momentum.
- Show the hardware tomorrow, talk about the future of the platform (Entertainment/Services) and showcase some big games (Call of Duty)
- Then transition into E3 with a strong line-up of 1st and 3rd party titles

They were originally going to show it in April, but moved it to May. Most likely due to hardware spec change.
in a month? lol

maybe they were like, hey, engineers, whats the absolute drop dead latest sony can change their hardware? And the engineers were like "May 19th" Lol.

MS has the money and has a great relationship with AMD. I think they were working on the spec upgrade for much longer than that. I just think they put the finishing touches on it.

Xbox division from 2001-2007 was failing. Outsold by Playstation 2 in every country. Losing money every year. Red ring faulty consoles. Promoting HD DVD drives and Xbox Vision cams.
That's the problem, many people here have a warped sense of success. Xbox is succeeding now, it started really succeeding around 2009/2010.
Microsoft as a whole company was pretty much sucking 2004-2008. The Ray Ozzie/Vista/Robbie Bach/Zune years were a mess. The company has cleaned house and gotten really focused in the last few years.
Since E3 is around the corner, I don't mind this. Hopefully it allows MS to focus their two conferences on different points.

I'd buy it since it will probably come with a armor skin code.
also standard fleshlights are built into the console did you not see the paste bin

If there is a company that has the money to blow its microsoft to do this.
But i imaging they would have multiple teams/prototype fighting shit out with different hardware specs. And gave devs the lowest specced hardware. And force them to work via an API so they don't loose progress when they decide to bump up to better hardware.
They can always allow code to the metal after release when cpu and gpu has been finalized.
